  • Rental agreement with anchor tenant over 11,250 m² extended
  • Annualized rental income in the Y2 rises to more than EUR 3.1 million and reaches market level
  • Premature lease extension by 12 years to a term of 14.3 years

Frankfurt am Main, 28. August 2019 - Godewind Immobilien AG (ISIN: DE000A2G8XX3, trading symbol: GWD, Godewind), a company specializing in German office real estate, announces another rental success shortly after the latest significant vacancy reductions.

Just shortly after the latest new rental agreement in July this year in the Y2 office complex in the Frankfurt Merton district Godewind concluded a premature 12 year lease extension to a total term of now 14.3 years with the existing anchor tenant, Jobcenter Frankfurt am Main. The lease extension for the 11,250 m² total space in this office building begins on the 1st of January 2022. The contracted annual net cold rent of the property will increase by more than 15 percent or approximately EUR 0.4 million to EUR 3.1 million compared to the closing in February this year. Y2's office vacancy already fell to 28.3 percent from 32.2 percent earlier as of late. The average remaining term of the tenancy (WALT) will move up to 11.5 years after 4.8 years. The portfolio performance indicators will again improve as a result of this new contract.

Since its acquisition, Godewind has already concluded new leases and lease extensions for assets with an office space totalling more than 60,000 m². Through the new letting successes, for example in the FAC in Frankfurt, in Quartier am Zeughaus in Hamburg, in sunsquare near Munich and in Y2 in Frankfurt as well as the current new letting in Herzogterrassen the portfolio vacancy has already been significantly reduced to currently 13.1 percent. The strategic acquired vacant space continues to offer outstanding growth potential and drive Godewind to rise the net asset value (NAV) even further in the medium term. Godewind's recent leasing success is another milestone in this respect and renewed prove of the attractiveness of the company's value add/manage-2-core strategy.
